The Indianapolis Colts released safety Tom Zbikowski, who started 11 games last season, on Friday.

The Colts had signed Zbikowski as a free agent last year after he spent his first four seasons with the Baltimore Ravens. In 2012, he recorded 47 tackles, four passes defensed, one interception and one sack.

On Wednesday night, the Colts had signed former New York Jets safety LaRon Landry to a four-year, $24 million contract, making Zbikowski expendable.

Zbikowski, 27, was owed $1.5 million in 2013, and the Colts saved a little more than $1 million against the cap.

Zbikowski, also a professional boxer, followed coach Chuck Pagano and teammates Brandon McKinney and Cory Redding from Baltimore to Indy last season.

The move comes after a flurry of free-agent signings. Indy has already signed seven players, five on defense, and also re-signed cornerback Darius Butler, who was a free agent, too.
